Mr Simon Lambert

Orthopaedic Surgeon

MR LAMBERT SAVED ME (Enrico's testimonial) My name is Enrico, I am a 25 year old who had been suffering from constant rear shoulder pain (right shoulder) since 19 years old. For years I had struggled with intense DEEP shoulder pain in the back of my shoulder. Everything had caused intense pain! Wearing jackets, pouches, rucksacks, running, weight lifting, swimming. As a young man I was troubled deeply by this and was in CONSTANT mental and physical Pain due to this. Over the 6 year span, I had done 4 Ultrasounds, 2 MRI's , 1 MR Arthrogram, 2 steroid injections, done countless physio sessions and visited an osteopath to NO AVAIL. I was told my shoulder was completely healthy, no sign of deterioration and I just needed to strengthen my rotator cuff. In 2024, aware that I will have to step up my treatments if I ever wanted to fix this, (before I saw Simon Lambert) I had booked a consultation with a well known and highly rated shoulder orthopaedic through Nuffield Health. He advised an MR arthrogram, which had come back with no evident damage. He had noted there was nothing wrong with the shoulder, declared I was hypermobile and sent me to physio. After months of reluctant physio (I had done physio since 19 and knew it wasnt the answer) I had booked an appointment with another orthopaedic consultant - again with almost perfect ratings on here. This individual had completely agreed with the initial consultation that there was nothing wrong and I was just hypermobile (they said I would eventually grow out of this). This however did not make sense to me as all my other joints felt completely ok. Feeling rather defeated I had carried on with my physio, feeling I would never get through this and have a normal painless shoulder I become hopeless. As things didnt improve the second orthopaedic had took my case to a South West regional surgeons meeting, explained my situation in an attempt to find a working solution with 15/16 other surgeons. ALL THE ORTHOPAEDICS HAD AGREED THAT THEY WOULD NOT OPERATE ON ME. I was too young to have a deteriorating shoulder and there was 'nothing' wrong with me that a surgery would repair. Plus many surgeons wouldn't go near a hypermobile shoulder. You can only imagine the impact this would have on a young man who just wanted to live a normal life. I was devastated to put it mildly. I did not give up, I had done further research and stumbled upon Mr Lambert. Having a lack of faith due to my previous experiences with this, I had studied Mr Lambert and his work before I had booked the initial consultation. I had studied his reviews and was fascinated by how sincere his client testimonials were, it seemed he was an individual who just wanted to help people get back to their normal lives. His mannerisms and knowledge in his youtube videos had amazed me and he seemed a true master in his craft. I booked the initial consultation. I cant put into words the contrast in compassion between Mr Lambert and the previous orthopaedics I had seen. Mr Lambert was patient, humble and kind. He had done a physical assessment of my shoulder in the consultation and reviewed the results of my previous scan. He put my mind at ease immediately, he understood how tough this journey was for me and could see my emotion. He noted that from my symptoms his experience had alluded that it was likely that there was some form of structural damage even though the scans didn't clearly point to that. He said the only way to know for sure was to perform an investigation surgery (arthroscopy) to find out. (To many a surgery was something to avoid however I was so determined to fix this that I was ecstatic to think we were one step closer to figuring this out!) We had therefore moved forward with the investigation surgery, Mr Lambert and his Anaesthetist (Dr Picard) were superb before and after the surgery. As this was my first surgery I was evidently very nervous and they had made me feel relaxed. Post surgery Mr Lambert had come into my recovery room and after making sure I was ok, disclosed the results of this surgery. I had indeed had a 7-11 o'clock rear labrum tear on my right shoulder. The shoulder capsule was also very very loose. He would need to perform a rear stabilisation surgery that consisted of a labrum repair and a tightening of the capsule also known as a capsular shift. I was over the moon to see an end in sight! A couple months later (April 2025) we did the surgery (went perfectly) and I am currently over 7 months into my recovery. It has been a slow process of physio but `I can now see a humongous difference to pre-surgery. I can finally wear jumpers and bags and can slowly get back into physical training, I have not had any flare ups in the last month and not in that constant deep pain! I still have a little way to go but I am so grateful that Mr Lambert took the chance to help me when so many had not. I am eternally grateful to this man. This man is not only an experienced professional but a true gentleman. I would choose him every time! Thank you so much Mr Lambert. You have helped me more than you could ever realise. Forever grateful Enrico

Mr Ravi Pydisetty

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was seen by Mr Pydisetty this morning in clinic for a post operation follow up. The operation went well and the follow up care was great. Full examination and images shown of my knee pre and post procedure. Mr Pydisetty had also carried out a unicompartmental knee replacement on my other knee over 22 months ago which also was successful. I would highly recommend him because he genuinely cares for you. He takes time to listen to your issues, fully explains scan results and gives informed choices on what options are available. Nothing is too much trouble ! I had a fall earlier this year and landed on my replacement knee causing some discomfort. I contacted Mr Pydisetty, and was seen within a few days. A CT and MRI scan was carried out to ensure no damage had occurred to the recent replacement. The after care I have received has been remarkable. Mr Pydisetty is great! I was seen at Renacres in Ormskirk as a NHS patient.

Mr Mark Farndon

Orthopaedic Surgeon

An Excellent experience all round from initial consultation with Mr Farndon right through to Day Surgery & re couperation the best thing I ever did despite some of the negative advice from my GP & others - it's Very Painful ....I wouldn't have it done again....I was fully informed by Mr Farndon - made me feel at ease both at consultation & final visit 6 weeks after surgery. Thank You so much Mr Farndon as I mentioned I can wear my fave shoes again 👏 but more importantly I'm back to doing what I do including exercise & general wellbeing ....that's a big thing when you have a Bunion as it starts to dictate ... Not any more Fantastic Job Mr Farndon I will recommend if in asked 👌

I was very apprehensive about getting both of my eyes done at the same time. I cant believe how easy and painless it was ,all of the staff were amazing in looking after me and putting me at ease. Having 24 hr support was amazing ,my concerns were addressed quickly . If only everything was as easy as this ,within 3 days i could see perfectly ,i never realised how much of a difference it would make . From my consultant ,nursing staff, opthamologists, domestic staff and receptionist they went above and beyond in their care. Nothing was too much bother. Dont hesitate to go ,you will be amazed .

My visit for my hip operation was very calming, no stress involved as it was an operation. The nursing staff (Liam) was very helpful with information about my procedure timetable. After my operation I was looked after by 2 further nurses (Jan & Yvonne). They looked after my pain medication during the.night as well as the rest of my needs. Couldn’t have asked for better support, many thanks to them. The physio was round the next morning with crutches so I could walk and instructions on what I could and couldn’t do. Again very supportive which put me at ease.

Mrs Catherine Rabess

Dietitians

I felt in such safe hands with Caff - it was clear how skilled she is in the area of gastroenterology-specific conditions. Her warmth and empathy put me at ease straight away. There was no need for me to feel embarrassed discussing my bowel issues. She took time to fully understand my situation and challenges, and therefore created suitable dietary plans alongside me, with tailored adaptations, so it felt personalised, realistic and viable. Caff has been an integral part of my recovery journey. She is a rare gem in the healthcare profession.

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I would advise any menopausal women who may need help to come to the Cora menopausal clinic. Emily was absolutely amazing from the moment I walked into her room and till when I left. The knowledge was out of this world. Emily reassured me and listened and understood. I took away so much from this one visit and am very thankful. My symptoms were getting to the stage where I was struggling to cope with everyday life. I’m a few weeks down the road and have been on HRT and feel so much better. Thank you Emily.

Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

I saw Mr Ali Abbas recently and I was pleased with the visit. He was very thorough and explained things very clearly. He took his time to consider a differential diagnosis for my problem and the course of action he suggested has helped me feeling better after years of increasing pain. What I liked the most is that his approach was not limited to treating the symptoms now but to protect the health of my eyes in the long term. His secretary Natasha Masih-Lal was also very helpful with appointments etc.

As I have very difficult veins to draw blood from, Prof Rakhit recommended that I should ask for Andrew in the phlebotomy department....which I did. They were very helpful in helping me to come in at a time when he would be there. Andrew was brilliant. He managed to find a vein without any trouble and I hardly felt the needle! My thanks to everyone for making this a much less stressful experience than it usually is!

The Menopause Medic

General Practice (GP)

I am yet to start treatment as my appointment was today, but it was lovely to be fully listened to. It’s impossible to cover everything in a 10 minute GP appointment, so I really appreciate the time taken to fully understand my individual needs - who I am, what is normal for me, a tailored treatment plan to MY specific needs, and looking at me as a whole person. Thank you

Ms Rubina Rahman

Ophthalmologist

Ms Rahman went through the procedure of laser surgery very clearly, even drawing me a diagram. The procedure was quick and painless, the results amazing, everything is so clear and colours so bright. Glasses only now required for my computer work. Yippee I cannot recommend it enough. Thank you Ms Rahman 👏👏

Dr Vinit Sawhney

Cardiologist

Dr Sawhney explained everything so clearly to me and my partner. She made me feel so validated, and I didn’t feel dismissed at all. She asked for input from what my partner has also seen, which gave her a broader view and better picture on how to help. Definitely recommend!

Miss Shahrnaz Izadi

Ophthalmologist

I’d seen a previous doctor for possible cataracts and Glucoma, however although being thorough( as I thought at the time), he didn’t pick up that I had a tear to my retina. Miss Izardi did and sent me promptly ,the next day to colleague of hers who gave me laser treatment!
